SUMMARY:Organic Market Opportunities in the Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Oregon Small Farms Conference for a full day of learning and connection! \nOrganic Buyer Panel Discussion\nDemand for regionally grown organic food continues to rise across Oregon\, creating new opportunities for smaller farms to expand into wholesale and retail markets. This session is for farmers looking to expand beyond direct sales and build strong relationships with organic buyers. \nWe’ll begin with an honest\, behind-the-scenes panel discussion featuring organic buyers from across the supply chain – including a distributor\, food hub\, independent grocer\, and cooperative store. Panelists will share practical insights into how they work with farmers\, what they look for in successful relationships\, and how market trends are evolving. \nFollowing the panel\, buyers in the audience will have an opportunity to briefly introduce themselves and share about their business. We’ll conclude with time for Q&A and open discussion. \nWhether you’re just beginning to explore wholesale markets or actively seeking new market partners\, this session offers valuable perspective on building successful farmer–buyer connections. Details\nDate: February 21\, 2026 \nLocation:\nOregon State University\, Corvallis\, Oregon \nCost: $85\, free registration for farmers – please email markets@rodaleinstitute.org for assistance. \nRegistration\nRegister Today \n This work is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).
